Palatial old-fashioned entrees (tuna melts, grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken fingers) and a whole lot of legendary cheesecake round out the offerings here. (The cheesecake really is where it’s at.) There are two city-centric options (including one in Times Square), but if you have time, head to the original on Flatbush in Brooklyn, which still retains its 1950’s aesthetic—red booths and banquettes, formica countertops, old-school uniforms, the works—and its friendly, neighborhood feel.
